I have no idea how to get a video to show at all. An I can not find the thread containing how to. Maybe we should have a sticky about it.

We've posted a few times in threads but a sticky is a good idea. Basically just enclose the link to the youtube page in media tabs, and remove the "s" from "https". For some reason the forum software doesn't support https. Like this:

Ah right, I tried looking for the guide here at the forums but could not find it as I think it is included in another thread. I tried different ways to post but non worked.
The You Tube share link does not work if enclosed in [media] brackets.
You have to copy the url from the browser,
https://www.youtube....h?v=LN8_LYjftjM
and strip out the "s" from the "https" and enclose in [media] [/media] brackets. Bit of a phaff ain't it.
Still I think I have it now.

And yet, when you do as Roger suggests, I only see a big blank spot in the post... no video, no link to click on, etc. I think this is some Firefox or FF addon issue, but I've never been able to find out what causes it. Oh, and it ONLY happens at Scot's. Youtube vids posted with media UBB tags work fine on my own private board (ProBoards).

That is odd. I stopped all the NoScript operating and I still get a black square telling me I need java set up.
